| power conditioning question gentlemen I cannot respond to your "off the grid" status but I did a lot of research into balanced power over the last couple of years. Some make it sound like it's electrical magic and is deeply complex. It is not. Balanced power is simply clean, 120v powe... | |
| Equipment Rack While we're on the subject of Stillpoints, I don't want to sound dumb but in the case of Mapleshade brass footers, how in the world does one go about balancing an 83# amplifier on these? I get that once they are in place they are stable but gettin... | |
| Bi-amping Rules So given three way speakers, why stop at bi-amping when you can tri-amp? I am of course being facetious. Please let us know how this turns out. | |
| What piece(s) of equipment would you most like to try? My thought for this thread was not so much equipment that was realistic to afford......just equipment you would love to try. | |
| When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade? A Balanced Power Technologies 2.5 Signature Edition. This unit really rounds out my system. Now if I could just build that dedicated room.... | |
| Remembering Phoebe Snow on Her Birthday July 17, 1950 I enjoyed your remembrance immensely. Isn't it interesting that while navigating through various YouTube videos I happened across her live version of Poetry Man recently? The woman with the four octave voice is a pure treasure for audiophiles. Wha... | |
| Obscure bands While not "bands", I would like to comment on a couple of great artists you've never heard of. The first is a singer/songwriter by the name of Andrew Newton from Northern Minnesota. He used to play (and maybe still does) small coffee houses and s... | |
| Strange Oscillation kijanki, I think you are on to something when you mention system or room resonance because that's what it sounds like. It's almost like a feedback loop is occurring. If you think about it, the high pitch frequency output from the speaker may be es... | |
| Strange Oscillation kihanki,No high pitched vocal? I am referring to the track "Too Rich for my Blood" (one of my favorites) at about 5:19 when Patricia hits that high note. So how does one go about cleaning the laser? I'm certainly open to trying that. | |
| Strange Oscillation oleschool, I assume you mean from a vibration standpoint. The Ayre sits on a solid maple shelf almost 2" thick and from there is perched upon vibrapods. I really don't think vibration is the cause but at this point can't rule anything out. What's... | |
| difussor's I would also like to suggest you take a look at Acoustic Fields videos on you tube. Lot's of great information there available for free. Just my two cents. | |
| Question for BPT owners.... wayne,I purchased mine here on the 'gon. Yes they are out of business which is surprising given their obvious high customer satisfaction, quality of their product and the great price point. Perhaps they simply did not charge enough for their produ... | |
| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? Seems lately I have been buying a lot of out-of-print CD's. I usually research the best version through the Steve Hoffman forums and then turn to EBAY to find them. You will pay more than Amazon but you can also find uncompressed versions which of... | |
| Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here? I think audio for women is a lot like street rods. They may enjoy being driven around town in a hot car but don't really enjoy tuning those dual Holley's sitting on a tunnel ram intake. Likewise, they could probably care less about the electronics... | |
